How to Use the Wistia MCP in CrewAI

Q: How does CrewAI handle Wistia media asset cleanup?

You can use the deletemediaasset tool for targeted removal, or if an entire project is obsolete, you run deletewistiaproject. Be careful; both are irreversible.

Q: What kind of reporting does Wistia provide with CrewAI?

The getengagementstatistics tool pulls detailed viewer metrics. This allows your autonomous crew to analyze performance and decide on the next marketing step.

Q: Can CrewAI list all existing Wistia assets?

Yes, the listwistiamedias tool gives a full inventory of every video or audio asset in your account. It's a great starting point for any audit.

Q: When using MCP Server with CrewAI, what data types are managed?

The server manages all metadata attributes and the full list of projects. This includes name, description, and the hashed ID required to modify or track assets.

Q: What is the difference between project details and media listing in Wistia using CrewAI?

The listwistiaprojects tool shows folders. The getprojectdetails tool, however, drills down into a single folder to show exactly what media assets are contained within it.

Perplexity

Autonomous content ingestion with MCP Server

If your team needs to add content, Agent A can run `upload_video_via_url` by receiving a source URL. This automatically downloads and hosts the video into the target project ID. Agent B then takes over, calling `get_media_details` on the new asset to confirm all metadata was attached correctly.

Running Wistia analytics reports with CrewAI

An analysis agent can use `get_engagement_statistics` to pull raw viewer data for a video. This data is then passed to a reporting agent that summarizes the findings. The monitoring agent might also call `list_wistia_medias` first, ensuring all assets are accounted for before generating reports.

Managing Wistia project structure with CrewAI

Need to organize a mess? The workflow can start by calling `list_wistia_projects` and then use the `create_new_project` tool. This builds the necessary folder hierarchy for new campaigns. Later, another agent might call `get_project_details` on that newly created project to verify its structure before adding assets.

Setup guide

Set up Wistia MCP in CrewAI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai package (pip install crewai)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install CrewAI
Run pip install crewai to install the framework. MCP support is built-in via the mcps parameter.
2

Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the mcps list. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically.
3

Kick off your crew
Create a Crew with your agent and tasks. Call crew.kickoff() — the agent will automatically invoke Wistia tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="Wistia Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze Wistia data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct Wistia access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent Wistia transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai + crewai-tools packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install crewai crewai-tools. The MCPServerAdapter handles lifecycle management and tool conversion.
2

Connect with MCPServerAdapter
Use MCPServerAdapter as a context manager with SseServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. The adapter automatically manages connection lifecycle.
3

Assign tools and run
Pass the returned mcp_tools to your agent's tools parameter. The adapter converts MCP tools to native BaseTool objects compatible with all CrewAI agents.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter
from mcp import SseServerParameters

server_params = SseServerParameters(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as mcp_tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="Wistia Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze Wistia data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct Wistia access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent Wistia transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

    crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
    result = crew.kickoff()
